Villa Santa Rita, Residential neighborhood in western Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Villa Santa Rita is a residential neighborhood in western Buenos Aires with low-rise buildings and houses arranged in a regular grid pattern. The streets run systematically and create an orderly, easy-to-navigate community.
The land originally belonged to Juana Ramos Garmendia and was divided into residential plots between 1887 and 1890. This subdivision marked the beginning of systematic urban development in the area.
Jorge Luis Borges set his short story 'Hombre de la esquina rosada' in this neighborhood, specifically mentioning a salon on present-day Gaona Avenue. The story continues to shape how locals and visitors think about this area.
The neighborhood is well-connected by numerous bus lines, making it easy to move around. The regular street layout makes it simple to navigate the area and explore different parts.
The neighborhood contains several passages that developed decades ago as worker housing developments and remain intact today. These passages are typically only a few hundred meters long and show a different construction style from the surrounding residential streets.
